Clinton will rise from sick bed to join campaign (against Hillary's wishes

[kskiska]

(snip)

Mr Clinton's last-ditch intervention, starting on Monday in Philadelphia in a joint appearance with Mr Kerry, comes in the face of resistance from his wife. Senator Hillary Clinton is concerned that the former president could endanger his health so soon after the operation.

"Hillary has been fighting this all along, but we'll get a few appearances," said a senior Democratic official who was involved in the negotiations over Mr Clinton's participation. "He really wants to do this. He watches every detail of the race. He knows more about it than I do."

The White House is countering Mr Clinton's imminent return by taking the unusual step of sending the president's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, out on the campaign trail.

It is an unprecedented step, since national security advisers do not normally take part in campaign politics, but the White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, yesterday defended the decision, saying Ms Rice had been invited to speak at a number of venues.
